What is transpiration?

Transpiration is the process by which plants lose excess water in the form of water vapor from their leaves.

This process mainly occurs through tiny openings on the surface of leaves called stomata. As water evaporates, it creates a pull that helps in the upward movement of water and minerals from the roots to different parts of the plant.

Transpiration also helps in cooling the plant and maintaining its temperature, especially in hot conditions.

In simple terms, transpiration is how plants release water vapor and maintain the flow of water inside their system.
